Why does stress build up at transform boundaries?

Physics

Rina8888 [55]3 years ago

Tectonic plate edges are not smooth. At transform boundaries, plates move against each other, but since the plates aren't smooth, lockups form. Stress is built up as both sides continue to steadily push against each other until there is sudden movement, where both plates quickly slide until they lock up again. This is what causes earthquakes.

Irina18 [472]

Kirchhoff's circuit laws are two equalities that deal with the current and potential difference (commonly known as voltage) in the lumped element model of electrical circuits. They were first described in 1845 by German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff. This generalized the work of Georg Ohm and preceded the work of Maxwell.

As the wavelength increases, the frequency (2 points) decreases and energy decreases. increases and energy increases. decreases
frozen [14]
Bohr's equation for the change in energy is
\Delta E= \frac{hc}{\lambda}
where
h = Planck's constant
c == the velocity of light
λ = wavelength.

The velocity is related to wavelength and frequency, f, by
c = fλ

Let us examine the given answers on the basis of the given equations.

a. As λ increases, f decreases and ΔE decreases.
     TRUE

b. As λ increases, f increases and ΔE increases.
    FALSE

c. As λ increases, f increases and ΔE decreases.
    FALSE

Answer: 
As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and energy decreases.
